Jacking points on a Coachman twin axle caravan

You could use a trolley jack under the axle or use an alternative wheel lock.

Get yourself a Lock'n'Level for a twin axle. You will be able to easily fit the Alco wheel lock and level the caravan at the same time.

I do as TW suggested, use a trolley jack

I would think a different. type of wheel lock,, we had a trolley jack (now in amongst the other good idea at the time bits),as I got fed up with scrabbling under the cVan getting. It under the axle tube, Never use c/van chassis to Jack it up, if no deducted jacking points as now in your case 

Can't get a trolley jack under far enough to reach the axle. don't fancy crawling underneath in the rain or wet ground. Looking for something easy. I've looked at the lock &  Level too expensive no guarantee it won't puncture. Yes it works well. This is the email i had from Coachman. I think any manufacture should look into this and find something better on the Alco chassis.

Thanks for the replies

Thank you for your email.

I understand the Alko chassis is designed for use with the Alko motor movers, if you have had an alternative option fitted then I believe they also supply additional brackets for the jacking points, unfortunately, as we do not supply or fit motor movers I would have to refer you back to the dealership that installed the movers.

I regret on this occasion I’m unable to assist you more positively.

Kind regards

Mmmm, AlKo and  caravan manufacturers are well known for being unhelpful!

You either need to use a trolley jack under the axle (works for me......twin axle Sterling Searcher 2008 model) ......or the lock and level.....or a ŵ different wheel lock.

I use a trolly jack to lift my twin axle Coachman Laser 620/4 And where does it say you can't lift a caravan under its chassis? Obvious you wouldn't try at the ends, but under the chassis by the axles has never been a problem ..... & it's where the mobile tyre fitter jacked my caravan too.

If you get a puncture how do you propose to get the wheel changed if the van can’t be jacked up. I would say lock n level would be your best bet. As for the price it’s a drop in the ocean compared to the price of your van.

I think you will find using the chassis to jack is a no no , the only place is where the axle is mounted ,that is strong enough,

The only way a lightweight alko chassis as fitted to most UK caravans should be lifted by jacks ii by air jacks as the pressure area is much larger than with a conventional jack

Is the axle not mounted on the chassis
